What is Cultivating Community Cultivating Community began in spring 2005 as a class dedicated to learning about the economic, political, historical, and religious complexities of an urban neighborhood in Cleveland. The class explored issues of poverty in urban communities. Students earned academic credit and learned to make a difference in people's lives. The class culmintated in a service day when students worked with Hough neighborhood residents build a community garden and worked with St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School to prepare for spring. For more information, contact the course coordinator, Dr. Peggy Finucane at mfinucane@jcu.edu.
